New Year - Remember when 2020 was so bad? [View all]
We looked forward to 2021. Had to be better. Couldn't get worse. We had elected a Dem president. We had vaccines.
But then - an insurrection attack on Congress right off the bat in January. Vaccines were distributed after a slow start. Masks were discarded. Everything opened up again.
But then - the delta variant. By mid summer it was taking over as the dominant strain. A least twice as infectious as the previous variant. We needed masks again but state governors made vaccine and mask mandates illegal. Magats refused both vaccinations and masks. Vaccine efficacy was wearing off after 6 months. Boosters were approved. For sure the boosters would help those who wanted help.
But then, omicron. It breaks through vaccines. Even more infectious than delta. Maybe not as severe. And that's where we're at.
Should we look forward to 2022? I'm almost afraid to.
